lightest pre-loaded ammo

Schofield · August 7, 2007, 04:04 PM

I would prefer the lightest pre-loaded ammo in my Pietta w/converter (whether it be BP or smokeless). I just put this question on the SCORRS Board and wanted to ask you guys as well.

Which would be the lighter load for the Pietta 1858 w/converter…an Ultramax 230 gr RNFP (listed at 650 FPS) in a “Schofield .45 cowboy load smokeless round” or the Goex Black Dawge 235 gr RNFP (listed at 690 FPS) in a “Schofield .45 Black Powder round”?

Trying to learn this BP revolver shooting. Wouldn't the BP pre-load have the lightest pressure even though it's a little faster? Your input would be appreciated. Thanks

Yes, the BP load should have the lowest pressure of the two.
